Spline diameter for flyscreen mesh

Hi there!

I'm planning to build a couple of fly screens for my place. The resources here have been very handy in planning it out.

However, I can't figureout what's the appropriate spline diameter to buy.

What would fit hte Pillar 25mm x 2.5m flyscreen frame?


Thank you in advanced!

Hi @eddiefransy,

 

Depends on the type of mesh fiberglass or the metal type.

Standby... looking...

From one of my blog posts 6mm/fiberglass and 4.5mm/metal.

I made a special note of the above; was replacing fiberglass with metal (Cockatoo damage) and with no reading glasses grabbed the 6mm one.

 

Cheers

Thanks @AlanM52 , I just noted that as well on the spline packaging! Will be buying the bits tomorrow and see how we go!
